CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas \u2014 Some people talk about supporting veterans, and others provide it. Now, Corpus Christi Purple Heart Veterans are recognizing a business that\u2019s doing just that.<\/p>\n
Team Hard Life\u2019s Bait and Tackle has officially been named a Purple Heart Entity by Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter (MOPH) 598. <\/p>\n
The designation recognizes businesses and groups making a difference in the lives of veterans, first responders, and their families. <\/p>\n
For Team Hard Life, that includes hosting Free Fishing Friday, an event held on the first Friday of every month. Veterans and first responder families are given a day on the water with experienced guides, using fishing gear and bait provided at no cost.<\/p>\n
For more information call Team Hard Life at (361) 334-2171.<\/p>\n
\u201cTeam Hard Life supports a respectable amount of active-duty and veteran population including Purple Heart recipients who contribute to our communities in countless ways,\u201d said Skyler Bark, Commander of MOPH 598.<\/p>\n
The Purple Heart Entity program is open to more than just businesses. Churches, schools and community groups across the Coastal Bend that support veterans may also qualify for the designation. <\/p>\n
